Tell me you don’t miss John Madden. We all do. We all miss his color commentary, we grew up with him saying the most obvious things while doodling on the telestrator. We also miss his over-the-top gushing over certain players *cough* Favre *cough* that he was known for. We don’t even get to enjoy him [...]

"Tell me you don’t miss John Madden. We all do." No we don't, at least, I don't. I don't miss his continual blabbering, his intrusive constant mouth, and his some of the ridiculous comments he used to make. Don't speak for everyone with these stupid "we all do" crapola statements. Now he's "adopted" a new player, and comparing him with Tebow. At least when I see an article by him I can close it out. Too bad I couldn't do that with his mouth when he was in the booth, but thank God for mute buttons on the remote.

Apparently you didn't close this article out. I'd also say you are in the tiny minority of people that don't respect John Madden and within the majority of people that don't read an article before spewing. I'm confident you didn't take the time to listen to the radio broadcast link. The comparison is actually quite good in the context of two QBs that "freeze" defenses and John's clear statement that Griffin can pass. Also remember this is in the context of rookies. What would have been "stupid" or "crapola" is if John had compared Griffin to other QBs like Moon or Cunningham that others would like. Unfortunately that would be a mistake because Griffin is unlike them in that he sets up as a QB and has quiet feet untill needed or planned. I think this Griffin kid has his head on straight and when it comes to playing the game he won't be a scrambler looking for a pass with the intention to run like Vick or Cunningham.

Obviously Madden is getting old.. Your comparing RG3 to a non-NFL QB? Tim Teblows? Pathetic.. C'mon man.. Teblows is barely a runner, maybe a better Te, or 2nd string back.. Def not a QB.. well, ok..maybe a 3rd string where he should have been all along.. There are FAR more QB's RG3 could have been compared to.. But you choose Teblows.. Cunningham, Moon, Newton even.. Get off Teblows nuts already.. he gets way more attention than Superbowl champs, and QB's that are far superior to him.. RG3 is in now ways a comparision to anythign about Teblows.. Check your Med Madden.. I love you, but I just lost some flavor..

RG III will be your standard black quarterback - run first think later. You cannot do that in the NFL, you will get killed. Don't jack with Madden - he has more football under his belt than any of you.
